Victoria land is south of New. Zealand, and bor ders the western edge of the Ross sea, on the opposite side from the Little America area.

The eastern group is heading south toward the Bellingshausen sea and has not yet reached the edge of the pack.

The letter set Yule bells ring ing in sympathetic hearts across the country. "My faith in humanity has been renewed," Perkins wrote a signed article in the News today. "I have learned that there are a great many more God-fearing, Christian people in the world than had thought." But, there was more than Christmas sentimentality in Cpl. Perkins as he joined his wife and parents in a holiday reunion. Speaking for himself and his sightless buddies in Valley Forge, he said: "They want to be accepted in their communities as useful citizens.

They find that the true spirit of Christmas comes quite naturally to them." Doctors say Perkins will never see again because the mine blast tore his eye muscles so badly that no known operation can help.

Head Urges Move to Halt Crime WASHINGTON, Dec. 25 (IP) F.B.I.

Director J. Edgar Hoover has called for better pay for teachers with a warning that the nation is inviting greater juvenile delinquency by its "penny-wise and pound-foolish" attitude toward education. "Our teen-age crime rate has dropped slightly from the wartime peak, but it's still alarmingly high," the G-man chief said. "We can't afford to court further trouble by denying our youngsters the best possible educational opportunities." Hoover urged pay for teachers as a step toward combating juvenile delinquency. He deplored the present trend of qualified students to spurn the teaching field and called attention to the loss during the last five years of about 350,000 teachers to other jobs.

"Better education and that means better teachers can cut our national crime bill," he said. "The school can be a decisive supplement to the home in directing the child into a lifetime course of law and order. A good teacher can make up for other lacks in a youngster's training for good citizenship.

25 UP) Sugar-hungry Americans demand' ing to know why we ship our sugar abroad at a time like this received assurance from the agriculture department today. We don't. It is true, department officials said, that sugar leaving American refineries for foreign areas this year will total around 460,000 short tons. But, they explained: This sugar was grown in Cuba, not here. It did not belong to the United States, but was part of the Cuban crop allocated to Canada, Great Britain, France and other shortage areas.

It came to this country as raw sugar to be refined. PROVIDED MORE WORK Officials said that arranging to have the sugar refined here pro vided more work for American refineries and their workers. They said" that it all could have been refined either in Cuba or the coun tries to which it was allocated. The agriculture department says much confusion has devel oped irt regard to the Cuban sugar crop, mainly because this country has been buying the bulk of it since early in the war. In doing so, the United States did not buy the crop for itself alone, but as an international agent for all the countries which normally depended upon Cuba for part or all their sugar needs.

Since early in the war, the allied countries have been operating on a world-wide sugar-sharing plan. This was designed to keep a few countries from "hogging" the short world supply and leaving others without. Under the plan, all export sup plies were pooled. Each deficit country was allotted enough pooled sugar so that with its own production it would have about the same percentage of the total world supply that it consumed before the war. U.

S. KEPT SHARE The United States naturally was allowed to keep its own domestic production and that of Puerto Rico and the Virgin IS' lands. In addition it was alloted enough of the Cuban crop to give it about 20 per cent of the total world supply.
